VOLUNTEERS IN ACTION

John Weinandy - September 2019

Picture
Stan Vander Mey, Administrator of the California Highway
Patrol’s Senior Volunteer Program (SVP) in Oceanside,
nominated John Weinandy as the RSVP Volunteer of the
Month for September 2019. Stan describes John as a “highly competent and conscientious volunteer who is always willing to be of assistance and is highly respected.”

In addition to this Volunteer of the Month award, John received the Oceanside SeniorVolunteer of the year award in March of 2019. He received both awards for his many years of dedicated service with the Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) in Oceanside. John joined the SVP program in 2005.

John’s outstanding administrative qualifications were
noted by his peers and he was appointed SVP Treasurer
in 2008. As Treasurer, John kept the Senior Volunteer
Patrol’s financial records in first-class order. He was
also instrumental in providing the information to enable
the Senior Volunteer group to receive their 501(c)(3)
non-profit status with the IRS. As SVP Treasurer, John
served as a member of the Board of Directors as well.

In addition to John’s faithful work on field shifts, at
special events, and as a field trainer for new members,
he has helped the organization in a variety of other ways.
John researched and obtained the cell phones and GPS
units that are used in the Senior Volunteer Patrol vehicles
and he provided updated equipment as needed. He also
researched and obtained a set of small radios that can be
used to supplement the extender units on an as-needed
basis. He prepared, maintained, and distributed a roster
of the SVP members with their contact information for
the use of the SVP team. This was a tremendous asset to
the group and gets used daily.

John has been described as “the epitome of being ready,
willing, and able.” These are the essential qualities of an
outstanding volunteer. Thank you, John, for your many
years of service to the community and for making ours a
safer place to live.
